You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
Hey Kenneth, welcome back. Out of those two options a Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box like item #GY38FR is going to be a better replacement option than the Shocker item #SHK23MR. It's got way less moving parts and the…
Yes, it does Ray. The Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck & Demco Lock Coupler item #SHK89YR has 3" of offset compared to a standard gooseneck pin box like item #GY45GR. This pin box also has a built-in air spring and bump stops that absorb road…
Hey Rick. We have the upgraded model with the air bag that fits a Lippert 1621HD bolt pattern. It's the Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Kit w/ Demco eZ-Latch for Lippert and Rhino Box - 24K item #SHK99YR. Almost an identical setup to…
...this you will just need to take a quick measurement from the back row of bolts to the center of the king pin. I have attached a diagram and an article regarding this measurement.
When it comes...

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…
Yes, the Reese Goose Box #RP94716-61301 is the correct Goose Box for the Lippert 1116 pin box. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
Dan, this is a good thing to clarify before you make the switch. The Nomad is a static, non-cushioned pin box, so it won’t soften the ride the way a shock-absorbing or torsion-style upgrade would. You’re choosing the Nomad for simplicity, bed space,…
Hey Rick. There's no database that shows what parts are on your 2013 Sunnybrook Raven. So in order to recommend the correct CRE3000 and shackle bolt kit, I am going to need you to take some measurements for me. The shackle kit ones pretty simple…
Hey Bill, Assuming it is the 1621 pin box, which is the most common, you are going to want the MORryde GooseTech #MR97MV. This pin box replacement is designed to be the same hitch height as what it replaces. Since I don't have a 1621 pin box in…
Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. The Demco #DM8550046 you mentioned is for a flatbed truck with a recessed gooseneck ball so this would not work for your setup. Instead what you will want is the following: - Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel…
These arrived yesterday and are EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for the excellent service!

Effortless Towing with Bolts Over King Pin Adapters
Bolts Over King Pin adapters offer a seamless towing experience, combining easy installation with robust performance. Perfect for those who want a reliable connection without sacrificing bed space, these adapters ensure smooth rides and easy coupling, making them a top choice for fifth wheel enthusiasts.
The Bolts Over King Pin adapter simplifies installation and removal, making it ideal for those who frequently switch between towing and regular truck use. Its design ensures a strong, secure connection, reducing jerking and providing a smooth towing experience, even on long trips.
This adapter offers easy installation, often manageable by one person, and maintains bed space for other uses. It's lightweight yet strong, providing a reliable connection that enhances towing stability and reduces wear on your vehicle.
While generally versatile, it's important to consider your truck's bed size and any existing equipment. Some setups, like those with a rhino box, may require adjustments to avoid contact with the truck bed during sharp turns.
Yes, these adapters are designed to handle substantial weights, making them suitable for towing heavy trailers and campers. They provide a stable connection that supports smooth rides, even with loads up to 13,000 lbs.
For a smooth installation, use trailer jacks to position the adapter and ensure all bolts are securely torqued. Having a second person can speed up the process, but it's manageable solo with the right tools and setup.
